One-Third of Canadians Say They Have Less Than 2 Months of Emergency Savings: Poll

Many Canadians have just two months or less in savings to manage an emergency, according to a new Maru public opinion poll.

Sixty-two percent of Canadians, down from 65 percent last month, believe they have money in reserve for unexpected costs or needs, according to the March 7 Canadian Maru Household Index (MHOI).

The last time results were this low was in October 2022.
